Color {color [] # exposedField MFColor }
Each element of color field contains three floating point number to define the RGB color. Elements are indexed beginning from the 0.
Points' colors can be set by Color node, by Material node, or both according to the following rules:
  • If none of them specified, all points are black.
  • If only Material node is specified, the colors in the Material node define the colors of each point.
  • If only Color node is specified, the points are colored according to this node's definition.
  • If both of them are specified, then the Material node's diffuseColor and emissiveColor fields are ignored and Color node's definition is used as a color of points while points are shaded using the overall attributes of the Material node such as transparency.
